Box Office: Akshay Kumar To Beat His Own Kesari’s Record On Holi With C Sankaran Nair Biopic?

After months of waiting, we finally got the official announcement of the much-awaited biopic based on C Sankaran Nair. Starring Akshay Kumar in the lead role, the biggie is scheduled to release next year. Yes, it’s arriving next year on the auspicious occasion of Holi. With this, the film has a chance of beating Akshay’s own box office record on Holi, which has remained intact for five years now.

Directed by Karan Singh Tyagi, the upcoming biopic is bankrolled by Dharma Productions, Leo Media Collective, and Cape Of Good Films. Apart from Akshay, it also stars R Madhavan and Ananya Panday in key roles. It is scheduled to be released in theatres on March 14, 2025, on Holi. With a good amount of buzz present on the ground level, the film will aim to break Akshay’s record.

Though Holi is a holiday, it’s not an ideal date for the release of the film as during Holi, films face a dent in morning and afternoon shows. Despite such a situation, Akshay Kumar’s Kesari pulled off a solid start of 21.06 crores at the Indian box office. Apart from popular songs, the film was backed by solid buzz on the ground level, leading to a start of over 20 crores.
